<p>Dear Members<br>
</p>
<p><b>Art Matters - Favourite Art Materials</b><br>
</p>
<p>You are invited to join our friendly online Art Matter's
discussion tonight at 7pm. We shared our favourite tools and
materials a while back and picked up lots of great tips for
brushes, paper and other materials. Join us on Zoom and share or
discover others "material secrets". We can also catch up and
suggest themes for future meetings including ideas for our monthly
meetings at our new venue at the Daylight Inn.<br>

<p><b>Retrospective Exhibition of a selection of Malcolm Tait's
Artwork. - Saturday 8th October, Old Church School, Hayes, BR2
7BA, 10:30am - 4.30pm.<br>
</b></p>
<p>Plans are well in place for the exhibition and sale of Malcolm's
artwork. This is part of his local church St Mary the Virgin -
Hayes, Kent which Malcolm regularly attended and gave his strong
support to. They have very kindly allowed us to use this venue
and a much reduced cost.<br>
</p>
<p>As a reminder,Malcolm was a merchant seaman so ships and nautical
themes was the inspiration of much, but not all, of his artwork.
All of the artwork will be sold at greatly reduced prices. He
keenly supported the RLNI and it is for this reason that his
family have requested that all sale proceeds are donated equally
to the RLNI and Bromley Art Society. <br>
</p>
<p>We need help please in setting up the screens and artwork around
9am and then taking them back down again at 4:30pm. We would also
need some kind volunteers to steward and for a few hours during
the day or putting a few flyers advertising the event in your
local area. If you are able please contact me at Paul Stringfellow

<p><b>Artist In Residence Opportunity.</b></p>
<p>I recently gave details of an opportunity to give workshops to
residents at a new KYN Care home being set up in Bickley. I have
been contacted again as they would like to explore the opportunity
of having an "Artist in residence" based in their home. Please
find details below from Lucy...<br>
</p>
<p>"The care home will be an 86-bedroom site, however when we open,
we envisage we will only have about 8-12 residents initially,
increasing in occupancy over time.<br>
<br>
As such, we thought that one of the rooms within the home could be
utilised by an artist as a studio for them to carry out the
production of artwork, for a several month period, before it is
required by a resident.<br>
<br>
We would look to cover materials that the artist might need to
create their art, at a reasonable cost and would ask in return
that the artist involves any residents who wish to take part
within their creation of art – whether that is residents being the
focus of the work as a subject matter, being involved in helping
to create work themselves, utilising residents in workshops,
and/or otherwise. We would not expect to keep the artwork in the
home, unless of course the artist wanted us to do so, but would be
very happy for the artist to sell their artworks on afterwards or
during their residency with us.<br>
<br>
We are very open to the type of art created - painting, sculpture,
dance, music, textiles, any form – we know that art encompasses a
broad range. We would like to have a series of artists in
residents, taking occupancy in the studio over an 18month period.<br>
<br>
There are a number of considerations that need exploring and the
idea needs much further fleshing out, but we envisage that it
could be beneficial both to residents and hopefully to artists
too."<br>
